Grade Level/Discipline: I teach high school special education in the AVAC (Adaptive Vocational Academic Center). My students range in age from 14-18 years old with learning levels anywhere from 1st to 4th grades. I teach my students life skills.

.
Few Facts about myself: Some facts about me, I grew up in Rockford, IL and moved to Joliet, IL on a softball scholarship, where I went to the University of St. Francis. I graduated with my undergrad in Media Arts with a minor in English. I tried desk work when I got out of college, but wanted to do more, so I went back to get my Master's in Special Education. I am currently working on my second Master's in Teaching and Learning...all from USF.

What I'd like to learn or get out of this course:
I'd like to learn new things for my classroom. I'd like to be able to present my co-workers with technology they haven't heard of and be able to see my students faces when they get to use a new piece of technology.


My favorite game(s): Bean Bags, Texas Hold 'Em, Wii, Words with Friends.
